Text l Recently,the Washington Post published a survey conducted with the Kaiser Family Foundation and Harvard University on the U.S.economy.Although black and Hispanic families were hurt by the Great Recession,it was the"non-college whites"who held the darkest view of the country.These men used to be the backbone ofan economy built by brawn and rooted in manufacturing jobs.But now,nostalgic and despondcnt in equal measure,more than half said that America's best days were past,and 43 percent said"hard work and determination are no_guarantees of success."lf good,steady,well-paying work is the key to any person's economic satisfaction,there are scveral reasons to be nervous about the upcoming generation.Since 2000,the labor-force participation rate of young men undcr the age of 35 without a college degree has declined more than any other age-and-gender group.Since the turn of the century,the participation rate of 16-to-24-year olds with just a high-school degrce has fallen IO points to about 70 percent.Some of this drop is attributable to rising college attendance.But not all ofit.Nine percent ofAmericans between 20 and 24 are neither in school,work,or training.For the first time since at least the 1940s,young men are more likely to be living with their parents than with romantic partners.It's not the cost ofcollege or the weight of student loans alone that is forcing young people to stay home.Young adults without a high-school or college degree are far more likely to live with their parents.For young black men,this trend is hardly new;even in 1980s,they were more likely to live with their parents than with a spouse or girlfriend.As for what they're doing all day,Erik Hurst,an economist at the University of Chicago,is now conducting research that suggests that non-college men who aren't in the labor market are spending a considerable amount of their time in front of screens.Detached from the labor force,with neither a college degree nor a steady job,these men have little income.But the technological revolution in media and entertainment of the last few decades has made it cheaper than ever to divert oneself on a phone,computer,television,or video-game console.Cheap and abundant entertainment anesthetizes less-skilled and Iess-educated young men in the present.But in the long run,it cuts them off from the same things that provide meaning in middle age,according to psychological and longitudinal studies-a career,a family,and a sense of accomplishment.24.Young men's detachment from labour market will lead toA.waste oftime on meaningless entertainment.B.indulgence to high technology industry.C.technical revolution with cheaper entertainment.D.a sense of accomplishment in video games.

共用题干第三篇Internet Helps Families Stay More in TouchMuch has been said about how anti-social the Internet and mobile phones are.The truth is however,according to new research,communication technology is bringing people closer together. A study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project found family members were keeping in regular contact today more than ever before. And this is all down to e-mail,chat,our cellphones and SMS messaging. It makes sense.Years ago,it took a long time to write a letter,then find an envelope and go to the post office to buy a stamp and post it.Today we write mails while we wait for our change in the convenience store and they're sent in an instant.Having free Internet telephone calls also helps us to stay in touch more often and for longer. Everyone's using it,from five-year-olds to tech-savvy grandparents.According to the Pew survey,technology has a very positive effect on communication within families.Researchers asked 2,252 adults whether new technologies had increased the quality of communication with their family. Fifty-three percent said it increased communication with family members they did not live with,two percent said technology decreased this.Numbers were similar for those living in the same house as their family.The project director Lee Rainey said:"There's a new kind of connectedness being built inside of families with these technologies."Survey co-author Barry Wellman agreed:"It used to be that husbands went off to work,wives went off to a different job or else stayed home…and the kids went off to school…and not until 5:30 or 6 o'clock did they ever connect,"he said.With the help of technology,family members are______.A:keeping in touch more often than beforeB:buying more cellphones and computersC:losing contact with each otherD:decreasing their contact with each other

A study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project found family members were keeping in regular contact today more than ever before. And this is all down to e-mail,chat,our cellphones and SMS messaging.

Text l Recently,the Washington Post published a survey conducted with the Kaiser Family Foundation and Harvard University on the U.S.economy.Although black and Hispanic families were hurt by the Great Recession,it was the"non-college whites"who held the darkest view of the country.These men used to be the backbone ofan economy built by brawn and rooted in manufacturing jobs.But now,nostalgic and despondcnt in equal measure,more than half said that America's best days were past,and 43 percent said"hard work and determination are no_guarantees of success."lf good,steady,well-paying work is the key to any person's economic satisfaction,there are scveral reasons to be nervous about the upcoming generation.Since 2000,the labor-force participation rate of young men undcr the age of 35 without a college degree has declined more than any other age-and-gender group.Since the turn of the century,the participation rate of 16-to-24-year olds with just a high-school degrce has fallen IO points to about 70 percent.Some of this drop is attributable to rising college attendance.But not all ofit.Nine percent ofAmericans between 20 and 24 are neither in school,work,or training.For the first time since at least the 1940s,young men are more likely to be living with their parents than with romantic partners.It's not the cost ofcollege or the weight of student loans alone that is forcing young people to stay home.Young adults without a high-school or college degree are far more likely to live with their parents.For young black men,this trend is hardly new;even in 1980s,they were more likely to live with their parents than with a spouse or girlfriend.As for what they're doing all day,Erik Hurst,an economist at the University of Chicago,is now conducting research that suggests that non-college men who aren't in the labor market are spending a considerable amount of their time in front of screens.Detached from the labor force,with neither a college degree nor a steady job,these men have little income.But the technological revolution in media and entertainment of the last few decades has made it cheaper than ever to divert oneself on a phone,computer,television,or video-game console.Cheap and abundant entertainment anesthetizes less-skilled and Iess-educated young men in the present.But in the long run,it cuts them off from the same things that provide meaning in middle age,according to psychological and longitudinal studies-a career,a family,and a sense of accomplishment.22.Which ofthe following is true ofAmerican young men?A.More than half of young men under the age of 24 drop out of school.B.College attendance has rose by 10 percent since the tum of the century.C.Young men under the age of 35 cannot find jobs without a college degreeD.Most Americans between 20 and 24 are in school or work:ing.

单选题Passage 1 Results showed that at least a tenth of the Harvard first-year undergraduates polled admitted to having cheated on an exam prior to starting at the university, while almost half admitted to cheating on their homework. An anonymous survey by Harvard's newspaper has revealed a surprising pattern of academic dishonesty among studertts entering the US universities. The survey by The Harvard Crimson was emailed to the incoming first year undergraduates; 1,600 students responded. Results showed that at least a tenth of the students polled admitted to having cheated on an exam prior to starting at the university, while almost half admitted to cheating on their homework. Athletes were apparently the most prone to cheating. 20 percent of students who played a university sport admitted to cheating on an exam compared to 9 percent of students who did not. The survey also revealed that men were not only more likely to cheat but were also more likely to admit to it. The results, compared to a previous survey done on the class of 2013, suggested that cheating may be becoming more commonplace. Of the outgoing seniors only 7 percent admitted to cheating in an exam and another 7 percent said they had been dishonest on a take-home test. 32 percent of the seniors said they had cheated on homework during their undergraduate years. The surveys come in the wake of a cheating scandal at the university which saw 120 students investigated for sharing answers on an exam in 2012. One recent graduate stated: "Cheating was commonplace when I was at Harvard, especially with students in their first year or two. I would say as many as 60 per cent of students took notes into some exams. No one really cared the faculty, well some of them at least, seemed to recognize and yet ignore the problem." In an email to NBC News, Jeff Neal, a Harvard representative, explained that a committee, made up of faculty, staff and students had been established to tackle cheating, which "is a national problem in American education". He added: "While the vast majority of Harvard and other students do their work honestly, beginning this year Harvard College has implemented a new, more robust strategy of communicating with all students, particularly first-year students, about the importance-and the ways to achieve- academic integrity." In a rebuff to critics who say university has become little more than an expensive party, 84 per cent of the responding undergraduates fully expected to prioritize their academics over extracurricular activities, sport, employment and their social lives. Not a single student put academics at the bottom of their list. Not content with confining themselves to their degree subject, 59 percent of incoming students expressed a desire to pursue a secondary field of study, and 36 percent hoped to learn a language.What is the tone of the author according to the passage?ASubjective.BExaggerated.CSarcastic.DObjective.
